Where are y'all coming through the firewall at? I couldn't find any grommets on the passenger to come through.
 
Just run it under all the way back and put a hole in the backseat. It's much easier. My hole is just beside the seat brackets on the left side.
 
10-4

I have it very ghetto and run along top of the fender then in through that little rubber hose thingy that carries the wires from the door to the body. I just ran it to see if everything still worked and now I need a more permanent solution. Thanks for the help.
 
unless your running multiple lengths of 1/0 or larger, no need to go under the vehicle. if you want to go through firewall on passenger side, you need to drill and install your own grommet or snap bushing as suited for your wire size. drill from inside to keep as close to your floor as possible, then run your wire under the door sills and behind the c-pilar trim (depending on where your amps are at). its more work, but its a cleaner install and you wont have to worry about your wire under the vehicle
 
I've put my truck in a LOT of places it really shouldn't have been and had no problems with power wire and install looks good to me IMO. And I don't have to deal with poorly fitting trim because of the wire bulge
 
I still have it coming on top the fender then in through the rubber hose thingy then under door sills and trim. Looks like shit but so does my large dent and busted tail light. Meh.

hence why i said smaller than 1/0 can go under the sill. you wont have bulge if you know how to fit it in there and take the sill on/off
 
I just felt it was easier to go through the floor. If you can fit it easily in the cab it is better but I just felt like my 2 gauge was easier going through the floor.
